Abstract :
A method is presented for the analysis of the mutual coupling between two microstripline fed slot antennas which incorporates the microstripline-microstripline coupling, slot-slot coupling as well as the microstripline-slot coupling. The even-odd mode method is used to incorporate the coupling between microstriplines and reciprocity method are used to model the discontinuity due to the slots. Green´s functions in the spectral domain and the method of moment are also employed for the solution of the unknown field on the slots.
